Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon looks set to leave the club in the summer transfer window, and they could have a free run at signing an upgrade in that position.

It could be a busy summer window for the Magpies as they look to head back in the right direction following a disappointing season.

Some players, like Gordon, are likely to head through the exit door after they fail to qualify for European competitions.

As a result, Newcastle could be busy in terms of incomings, and they will also have to find a replacement for Gordon.

A deal for Gordon to leave the club appears to have moved fast, and it will be interesting to see whether they already have a replacement lined up.

Barcelona Agree Gordon Deal

Reports emerged on Wednesday that Barcelona had made a bid of around £70m to sign Newcastle winger Gordon ahead of the summer transfer window.

Just hours later, it was reported that a deal had been agreed between the two clubs, with a medical booked in for Gordon to complete his move to the La Liga giants.

The Magpies will now work on trying to bring in a replacement for the England international, who is set to head off to the World Cup in the coming weeks.

It’s unclear who Newcastle could look to target, but the ideal replacement could be Marcus Rashford, who spent this season on loan at Barcelona.

Newcastle Could Have Free Run at Rashford

With Barcelona targeting Gordon in the summer transfer window, Newcastle could have a free run to sign Manchester United winger Rashford.

The English forward spent the season on loan at Barcelona, and their pursuit of Gordon perhaps hints that they won’t sign Rashford on a permanent deal.

Gordon and Rashford are very similar. They’re left-sided attackers, both using their pace to get in behind to try to score and create goals. Rashford, described as one of the best players in the world, could be the ideal replacement for Gordon, and he’d only cost a fraction of the price.

There is also an argument to suggest that Rashford would be an upgrade on Gordon, with the latter struggling to produce in the Premier League this season.

Crystal Palace could announce their new manager as soon as Thursday, after lifting the Europa Conference League.

Palace have been searching for a new coach over the last few months after it was confirmed that Oliver Glasner would be leaving the club at the end of the season.

The Austrian manager gave the Eagles plenty of time to find a replacement, and he went out on a massive high on Wednesday night.

Palace lifted the Europa Conference League on Wednesday with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring the only goal of the game.

That was Palace’s third trophy since Glasner had arrived at the club, cementing him as one of the greatest managers in their history.

Now, it’s time for a new era for the capital club.

Palace Close to New Manager

According to reports in Italy, Crystal Palace are close to announcing their new manager, and it could be confirmed as soon as Thursday, the day after lifting the Conference League title.

It’s claimed that Andoni Iraola, who has now left Bournemouth, is set to join Crystal Palace after turning down the AC Milan job.

The Italian club were pushing to bring Iraola to Milan, but Palace have offered him the chance to continue working in the Premier League and not move his family.

The report adds that Palace could even offer triple the transfer budget that Milan were offering, meaning they are likely to beat the Serie A club in the race for Iraola.

Iraola a Huge Coup for Palace

Securing the signature of Iraola is a huge move for Palace heading into the 2026-2027 season.

The 43-year-old has done a phenomenal job during his time at Bournemouth, helping guide them to European football this campaign, with Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp labelling him as being an ‘elite’ manager.

Iraola has dealt with a lot of turmoil with the Cherries, often selling their best players, but he still produces results.

There’s no doubt Bournemouth’s recruitment model has helped Iraola to flourish, so Palace will need to ensure that they back him in the transfer market.

It’s an exciting time for Palace supporters, especially after lifting another trophy this week.

Manchester United have added a new target to their short list for the summer transfer window as their search for midfield reinforcements continues.

The summer transfer window is yet to open, but we are already seeing a host of different midfielders being linked with a move to Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are in the hunt for a replacement for Brazilian international Casemiro, who will be leaving the club this summer following the expiration of his contract.

The Red Devils could look to complete a mini rebuild, looking to back new manager Michael Carrick after a strong end to the campaign.

The likes of Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton, Carlos Baleba, and Ederson have all been linked with a move, but a new target has now emerged on their shortlist.

Man Utd Add New Midfielder Target

According to a report from Sports Boom, Manchester United have now added Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra to their shortlist ahead of the summer transfer window.

The report claims that the Spanish star has now emerged as a primary target for the Red Devils, with his valuation set at around £35m, although the player has a €100m (£86m) release clause in his contract.

A host of clubs are also showing an interest in securing his signature, including from the Premier League.

Guerra, described as a ‘generational’ midfielder, only signed a new contract back in August, keeping him tied down until 2029.

Despite that, a number of clubs from around Europe are showing an interest in trying to prise him away from the Spanish club.

Man Utd In The Market for Multiple Midfielders

Guerra certainly isn’t the only midfielder Manchester United are chasing during the summer transfer window.

Reports have claimed that the Red Devils have reached an agreement to sign Atalanta star Ederson for a fee that could reach £38m.

The Manchester club were in the market for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, but it appears they have given up on the race to secure his signature, with rivals Manchester City leading the way.

It looks as though more than one midfielder could arrive through the door for United in the summer transfer window, which is no surprise as they aim to build a deeper squad ready for the Champions League.
